JJ Chance returns with the second part of his deeply personal and humorous take on addiction recovery in the episode titled 'Director Pt 2'. This time, he shares his journey of relinquishing control and embracing a higher power to help him stay sober. JJ reflects on how his attempts to direct every aspect of his life were like trying to tune a piano with a sledgehammer – entertaining but ultimately pointless.
He amusingly describes his process of adopting a higher power, likening it to downloading one from the internet or pretending the universe is a wise, orderly entity that can handle his fears better than he ever could. JJ's storytelling is both relatable and light-hearted, as he recounts parking his fears in the universe's 'cosmic parking lot' and trusting it to handle them.
This mental trick, he explains, has helped him lessen his dependence on himself and manage the overwhelming task of understanding every facet of life. He candidly admits that there are days when the concept of a helpful universe seems strange, but he chooses to accept it because it's more comforting than believing in a random, purposeless existence.
The episode is peppered with JJ's unique blend of humour and sincerity, making it an engaging listen for anyone on their own recovery journey. He encourages listeners to think about what the concept of a higher power means to them and to share their experiences in meetings, as sharing can spark someone else's journey of discovery. JJ's message is clear: every day in sobriety is an opportunity to learn, grow, and move forward, one day at a time.
Don't miss out on this thought-provoking episode that balances wit with wisdom. Tune in for part three, where JJ promises to wrap up his insights in the 'director's cut'.
